Bottom Line: REVENGE OF THE MONSTER
NERDS! An efficiently envisioned prequel
that may lack the emotionally heartfelt and ghoulishly creative draw of its
2001 predecessor, but more than makes up for it in family friendly, collegiate fright-ernity
boy hi-jinks and laughs… Charming and witty, this tale of the power of teamwork
is a light-hearted, good-natured romp that’s worth the small fortune it’ll cost
ya’ to take the fam. Between giant
handfuls of heavily buttered popcorn and eager gulps of soda, my eight-year old
laughed heartily throughout and my six-year old boldly laid claim to it be
being his favorite movie of all time – at least five or six times during said movie. We were all sold. This may not be Pixar’s most innovatively
staged digital concept, but the fact remains there’s something here for
everyone – and any critic telling you different is a dull-minded, dead-beat
curmudgeon that’s better left to an audience that can comfortably fit in to a
closet. A screamingly fun family flick –
even Pixar’s ‘lesser efforts’ can take most other animation studio’s flicks to
school.
